The athletic' drive, that measures our school spirit, comes to mind. With it comes Clarke's now famous oration. The trouble with you is you have no school spiritl What? You do have some? VVell, how much? For instance, do you have a dollar's worth? Presently we have the answers: none and no. VVe are tried in the balances and found wanting. True, no school spirit. The second athletic drive, this time for dancing partners for school affairs, is more successful. Future senior steppers must credit their success to this inspiration and guidance. The first dance given by the school in general occurs at the Yacht Club. The guests are pleased with the red and white decorations, colored lights, one realand one artificial moon, the searchlight from the bay. One student alone is glad when the evening is over. Duke Barkhurst. Comes a new spirit over our conduct at athletic events. VVe stop booing and start cooing at our opponents. All because of the Nifty-Fifty red- and-white-clad students, led by a loyal son of old Texas, who teach us manners. It all boils down to the fact that they want us to be silent the better to set off the cadence of their own voices. While on the matter of sound, we recall the Christmas carols, each year more beautiful and memorable. The ease with which clubs are organized, busi- ness conducted, and results achieved, makes the onlooker believe that Balboa High has had these things for ages instead of two short years. His- pano-America, in particular, deserves commenda- tion for its two outstanding undertakings-the debate with the National lnstitute and the presen- tation of La Conjuracion do Venecia, the latter in conjunction with the Cristobal Spanish Club.

EfAgain the picture changes. The assembly stage is the setting for this one. The stage is equipped with curtains! lmprovement or not to dramatics, they add to life's uncertainties. The Zappi and Salterio twins form opposing teams in a game of hide-and-seek. Iimnfie Olive is the referee. Gthers join in the game. The participants change every period. Now it's Ernest Erickson Behind That Curtainng again it's Billy French. Here's a cloud-plate piled high with good things to eat. It brings to mind the senior luncheon in early November. Helene Hudson reads the bill of fare in class meeting-weenies, rolls, sand- wiches, doughnuts, potato salad, cake, candy, pop. VVhat, no beans? No beans! I The committee is determined. So are Kunkel, M alone, Georgiana, and Sadie. VVe want beansl We want beanslu No beans! An appeal to Mr. Lee. Ts the committee grow- ing faint? 0rderl Orderl The meeting is adjournedln No beans. But the luncheon goes off well, save for the fact that it's hot for dancing. Afterward, the galley slaves remove shoes and extra garments in order to wash the dishes in comfort. Tskl Tskl Now the junior luncheon. The weather man is no more considerate of them than of the seniors. No matter: the affair is well patronized, .though there is no room, sitting or standing, along the balustrades. The guests adopt Turkish manners. Or is it Chinese to sit cross-legged on the floor? , After Open House Day comes the freshman luncheon. The lowly ones furnish food and the seniors offer advice. Advice that is accepted, too. In spite of the seniors, the luncheon is a success. The junior high school, like the small boy in the kitchen, is served downstairs. P icfz .rkipp fr The spirit, now fa The spirit! much? Worth?

THE ZONIAN The debaters, Lola Boyd, lack Cardoze, Teresa Michaelsen, and Gladys Booth, attempt to answer affirmatively the question: ls the language of the United States of America of great benefit to the Republic of Panama? The actors are entirely Gold Coasters, but the reception-dance after the performance is charminglyBa1b0a'S own. The former Dramatic Club, enlarged this year to include allied dramatic fields, presents some assembly plays in our -own name and language. Among others, the Little Theater, the new or- ganization, offers Ieannette Alexander and Charlie Malsbury in The Lunaticsug Iune Tilley, Laura Morgan, Dorothy XVatson, Betty Brooks, Sara Ferguson, and Kathleen Lawrence in The Rehearsal. Even more: under the auspices of the junior class the dramatic group presents Skidding. Of the Skidding players, Virginia Foster, a new sophomore, portrays Mother QHardy under- standinglyg Frances Friday and Mary Margaret McCormack are discontented with humdruiii family life convincinglvg Lillia Monsanto revolts as suddenly as a jungle garrison, Iohn Calhoun wins the votes of critics and voters alike. We mustn't forget Grandpa, Leslie Clarke, who patches up the quarrel between Howard Daniels and Rebecca YVilliamsg nor grandson, Roy Davis, who slouches his way into the hearts of the au- dience. Even with that mafiana spirit strong upon US we tire of waiting for that explosive chemistry play. Its history is ancient, stretching back into the dim reaches of junior year. Soon, we all fear, Bill Burdge and Bob Crandallfand Tom Alley will have grown too old to play bronco-busters, and Earl Willett just aged enough to play the Cl1if1CSe waiter without makeup.
